Lithuania host Azerbaijan at the Dariaus ir Gireno Stadium in a UEFA Nations League D fixture that carries real weight at the top of Group 2.
The home side go into this match as group leaders, with Edgaras Jankauskas — a figure who built his reputation as one of Lithuania's most celebrated footballers — now in the dugou
t guiding the Rinktinė's next generation.
Azerbaijan arrive in second place, managed by Aykhan Abbasov, and with a squad that has grown in confidence across recent international windows. Mahir Emreli remains the focal point of their attack and the player most capable of deciding tight matches.
Both sides have shown they can grind out results, and with the group standings so close, this fixture has direct implications for where each team finishes the campaign.

Form
Lithuania come into this match having won three of their last five, with their most recent outing a 2-0 victory away at Liechtenstein in the Nations League. That result followed a run that also included wins over Latvia and Moldova, though defeats against Estonia and Georgia show the Rinktinė are not without vulnerability. Across those five matches, Lithuania scored six goals and conceded four, suggesting an attack with momentum but a defence that can be tested.
Azerbaijan have also won three of their last five, most recently beating Tajikistan 1-0 in a friendly just days before this fixture. They were convincing in a 6-1 rout of Saint Lucia earlier in the year and followed that with a win over Sierra Leone, though a 2-0 loss to Malta is a result that will not be forgotten quickly. Azerbaijan have scored 11 goals across their last five outings while conceding five, making them the more prolific side in recent games.
Head-to-Head Record
These two nations have met rarely, with the historical record offering little to separate them. The most recent encounter came in a 2019 friendly, which ended goalless. Before that, Lithuania edged a 2008 friendly 1-0 on home soil. Across both meetings, neither side has managed more than a single goal, and Lithuania hold the only win between them.
Standings
In UEFA Nations League D Group 2, Lithuania currently sit top of the table, with Azerbaijan in second place. This fixture is a direct meeting between the two sides leading the group.
